The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) developed community indicators
to assist users with understanding and assessing the quality of life in the
State's communities. Community Indicators are unique because they allow the user to obtain
information about our community and make comparisons on a state and national level.
Community Indicators measure important aspects
of local government that reflect the quality of life in those
communities. We hope you find the information contained here useful in your work, studies or community activities.
